Generally it is way less expensive and difficult to produce dozens of purpose-built racing/rally cars than to produce thousands of hi-tech road cars which can be easily converted into racing/rally ones.Quote:

Surely the manufacturer championship is for car manufacturers - these teams are not even semi factory teams either.
While I can sympethize with the thought of it, afterall, there are only two manufacturers, I do think they went a bit too far this year.Quote:

They should do what they do in MotoGP - have a Manufacturers Championship, and a Teams Championship. Simple!! It's quite ridiculous to have Munchis, Stobart, Monster, etc they're not Manufacturers. (well not car manufacturers......).

I think having 3 teams in manufacturers championship is enough until more manufacturers return.
Itīs better to win Manu CS with 6 contenders than only two. Maybe thats why...? ; (
So maybe this is only for satisfying Ford and Citroen.
